He hasn’t fought in almost two years, and he hasn’t fought anyone not named Junior dos Santos or Antonio Silva since 2010. In fact, the great Fedor Emelianenko—hallowed be his name—retired after losing a step or three in 2012, and yet has as many wins over currently ranked top ten heavyweights as Velasquez. In fact, Velasquez has just fourteen fights to his name and a third of them were against the same two Brazilians. Baddest Man on the Planet? My arse.

ONE Championship 27 took place on May 22, 2015 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. Shinya Aoki successfully defended his Lightweight belt against Koji Ando.

While Ando’s stiff jab kept Aoki at bay, it wasn’t nearly enough to earn him points to get ahead. Aoki employed a good game of single legs, kept Ando on his back, and worked on him with punches and elbows. Aoki’s high kicks were employed more than any other time in his career, however he didn’t need his stand up to earn the decision.

Aoki shoots twice, Ando stuffs it. Aoki holds it against the cage, tries for trips, back on a single leg, gets Ando on his back. Aoki pulls Ando’s back from his cage by the ankle, and onto the top. Ando recovers half guard. Aoki holding Ando’s right hand to the canvas effortlessly. Ando gets his arm back and tries to tie up Aoki. From the top, Aoki drops forearms. Aoki stands out, Ando recovers butterfly guard. Stand at the bell.

The kind of numbers Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was going to put on the boards have been the subject of heavy speculation ever since that initial “US$ 300 million” price tag was hooked onto the fight’s toe. Some might call it the corpse of boxing, but others say it was truly the fight of the century and a display of the highest caliber boxing anyone has ever seen. Forget history, MayPac is history. What everyone can agree with is that, holy shit, did some people take some money home that day.

The fight, as expected, shattered records, exceeded expectations and gave the people of the world fodder for their everyday conversational arsenal. To give you a taste, the May 2nd live gate numbers multiply the all-time boxing live gate record by more than three times. The Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed on Tuesday that the fight coughed up US$ 72,198,500 from 16,219 tickets sold.

In a bombshell announcement on Fox Sports Live, UFC president Dana White confirmed that Jon Jones has been stripped of his belt, which will now be contested between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.

The hammer has dropped on what is now FORMER UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. On the 11 PM ET episode of Fox Sports Live on Tuesday night, UFC president Dana White confirmed an indefinite suspension for Jones as well as the immediate stripping of his belt. Jones was scheduled to faceAnthony Johnson at UFC 187 on May 23rd, but now Johnson will instead fight Daniel Cormier for the vacant belt — I stress vacant instead of interim — in Las Vegas, Nevada.

UFC on Fox 15, which went down in Newark, New Jersey, sticks out as one of the most exciting cards in recent memory. And while it was highlighted by the impressive performances by Luke Rockhold and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, perhaps the most memorable storyline of the event was the emergence of several seriously intriguing prospects—each at the expense of a veteran competitor.

Complete with dominant decisions, big knockouts, and a slew of slick subs, it was a card we won’t soon forget. Here’s a recap of the action for those who missed it!

According to ancient Sumerian text (at least ancient Sumerian text interpreted by Zecharia Sitchin), there is a 10th planet in our solar system called Nibiru. On this planet exists a species called the Anunnaki, an advanced race of super beings that are more or less responsible for creating everything on earth known to humankind. If there were jiu jitsu on Nibiru, it would look a lot like Eddie Bravo’s 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu.

That is, at least, how he came up with the name.

Almost everyone in the BJJ community has heard of Eddie Bravo and the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system, and chances are, you either hate it or love it. As history goes, Bravo gained international notoriety by being the first American to submit the legendary Royler Gracie at the 2003 Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling championships while still a brown belt. From there, he gained the platform to create the infamous 10th Planet system, and today there are over forty locations throughout the world. This feat has not been achieved without its obstacles, however, as the California native continues to receive plenty of criticism for his unorthodox approach. To say his approach goes outside of tradition would be an understatement.

Unless you are a brown or black belt, or constantly train with a lot of brown or black belts, then chances are you aren’t exposed to that many submissions. Until you reach the higher belts, almost everyone uses the same basic submissions – armbars, triangles, Kimuras & Americanas, some variety or collar chokes, RNCs (rear naked chokes) & guillotines, and the occasional leg lock. There are hundreds of submissions in jiu-jitsu, and each of those has numerous variations, leading to thousands of possibilities. It’s impossible to know them all, let alone use them all. To mix things up, I decided to compile a list of submissions we don’t see everyday. Since there are so many, I whittled the list down to ten uncommon, wicked awesome submissions. If you want some submissions you don’t see everyday, and maybe even add some new tools to your arsenal, you’re in the right place. Without further ado:

If there’s one person I would never pick a fight with, it’ll be my girlfriend. For one, I’m a gentleman and I won’t raise my hand at a woman. It’s just not right. Secondly, my girlfriend’s a 2nd degree Tae Kwon Do blackbelt who could probably do a spinning jumping back kick that would take my head off. Yeah, she’s pretty deadly, for real. She would probably TKO my ass, much like what you’re going to see in the video below.
